Education edit

McCarthy earned a bachelor's degree from the University of Virginia. He also earned a PhD in geology from the University of Georgia.[1] While pursuing his PhD, McCarthy was a Fulbright scholar.[2]

Writing edit

McCarthy's main work, a trilogy called the Subterrene War series,[3] was originally intended to be a single book containing three novellas.[4] The first novel in the series, Germline, won the 2012 Compton Crook Award.[5][6] James Floyd Kelly, writing for Wired, called it "gritty" and "harsh," stating that "it takes real skill to lead a reader into actually seeing, smelling, and hearing (and maybe even tasting) the realities of war."[4]

His writing influences include Michael Herr.[7]
